Creating Bacon and Cheese Loaded Hashbrown Waffles is a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Prepare Hashbrowns: In a large bowl, combine the thawed hashbrowns, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the hashbrown mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
5. Add Flour: Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour into the combined mixture until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Grease Waffle Iron: Lightly coat the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray for easy removal.
7. Scoop Mixture: Use a large spoon or measuring cup to scoop an appropriate amount of the hashbrown mixture onto the center of the waffle iron, ensuring it’s spread evenly.
8. Cook Waffles: Close the waffle iron and allow to cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove Waffles: Carefully lift the waffles from the iron with a fork or spatula and place them on a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
10. Serve Immediately: For the best taste and texture, serve the waffles immediately while they are still warm and crispy.

With these simple steps, you’re on your way to enjoying a mouthwatering breakfast treat, filled with flavor and delight!
